Goals1. Establish an annual rhythm of PBL Curriculum Design Labs. (Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring)

2. Collaborate on curating and posting a Living Textbook.

3. Produce short videos on technical subjects for classroom inquiry.

4. Students design, track and report solutions to stakeholders.

5. Map impact online (household, classroom, community) https://mywater.world

Living Textbook - policy, plans, and performance dataStudents need opportunities to read, interpret and act on real issues…

Alignment with the WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan

Chapter 3.0 - Impacts on Salmonid Habitat in WRIA 9: History, Factors of Decline, and Policy Recommendations

Personal Actions in Daily Life

WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan - Policy ES1:Support vigorous education/information efforts to promote greater awareness of the watershed, its resources—including salmon—and how people depend on and affect those resources. School districts are encouraged to include watershed concepts and salmon recovery into school curricula, where feasible, and include watershed stewardship as a community service opportunity.

Policy ES3: Increase the number of volunteer stewardship events, better promote the events, and strive to retain volunteers over time for salmon restoration/protection projects on public lands.

Policy ES4: Develop, continue, expand, and improve programs to encourage positive personal action in daily life (such as residential stormwater BMP’s)

Near Term Action 2018-2022 Puget Sound Action Plan

Regional Priority: CHIN7.1 - Protect and/or restore critical habitat for salmon populations.

Desired Outcome for CHIN7.1 Habitats critical to salmon life history types are prioritized for protection and restoration actions to maintain/regain key habitat functions for salmon (such as juvenile rearing habitat, predation, refuge, etc.).

Near Term Action 2018-2022 Puget Sound Action Plan

1. Curriculum pathways align academic standards with the Vital Signs.

2. Expand strategic justification beyond ecosystem connectivity and commercial viability to shaping a new stewardship ethic.

3. Most of the broad demographic we wish to educate send their children to public school.

4. Well-informed youth can have significant impact on behavior change at home and can nudge policymakers to prioritize the future.
